The Local Authority Contribution to Improved Educational Outcomes: Phase One Report. This report provides an overarching perspective of the educational outcomes achieved, or aspired to, in the new local authority landscape, and how a range of local authorities perceive their contribution to such outcomes. It also looks at what local authorities can do to support children and young people in achieving the best possible educational outcomes. Overall, the key messages to emerge from the research suggest the role of the local authority, albeit changing, is perceived to be no less vital in achieving educational outcomes. Research Summary.
